< Episode 120: The Beginning of Disaster (1) >
In a dark forest with a bonfire burning.
Jin Ye-rin who was sitting in front of her and appeasing her hunger by eating beef jerky looked up at the night sky.
I don’t know why but at some point there wasn’t a single cloud in the night sky and a cold ominous wind was blowing.
She thought all of this was unusual.
-Tatak tatak!
As she looked up at the night sky she lowered her head and looked at the sparkling bonfire.
As she was looking at this a few hours ago flashed into her mind.
* * *
A few hours ago.
A bamboo forest that is almost in ruins as the sun sets.
Mok Gyeong-un who was looking at the clues that Jin Ye-rin had carved on the floor opened her mouth.
[It is impossible to stop everything he has prepared for a long time.]
She asked puzzled by Mok Kyung-un’s unexpected conclusion.
[…So you’re going to give up?]
[no. That can’t be happening.]
[Thank goodness. Carpenter if you say you are going to give up all the sacrifices you have made so far will be in vain.]
[….]
[Since we don’t know where the wooden tablet is wouldn’t it be a priority to stop those so-called six demons first?]
The six leaders are said to be the pinnacle of Imaemangryang.
It was called the Six Demons.
She said that each and every one of them was her disaster and disaster itself so she believed that she had to stop them first.
However hearing her words Mok Gyeong-un shook her head.
[yes? What are you going to do?]
[It is impossible to block them all due to location.]
[You said you wouldn’t give up right?]
[Strikes the main body of the wooden tablet.]
[yes? The main body of the wooden tablet is….]
[I figured out where the main body was through the place where the guy’s doctor continued.]
‘!!!!!’
Jin Ye-rin couldn’t help but be surprised at those words.
I knew that Mok Gyeong-un was well-versed in magic but had she reached the point where she could even figure out the location through her opponent’s doctor?
Then someone interrupted their conversation.
[avatar. I will also be with you.]
That someone was none other than Je Ilgye Chunqiu the top executive of the secret society.
As she hugged her demon sword and cried endlessly in sorrow her eyes were filled with extreme murderous intent.
It was her anger towards Mokgan who ended up killing her own father.
[I have to cut off that guy’s head for my father’s sake.]
[Are you planning on converting?]
Conversion.
She said she was literally changing from where she belonged.
She answered Mo Kyung-un’s question with a snort of her own.
[I’m sorry if you expected something like that but I have no desire to belong to anyone anymore. I’m sick of being controlled by someone anymore. So let’s just call it a temporary alliance.]
[alliance. Do whatever you want.]
Mok Gyeong-un accepted this as if he didn’t mind at all.
In any case she was not a human being but was more like a fool and not one who could move according to her own will.
It was appropriate for her to agree with each other for a purpose.
[He… No if I find out where he is I will join him.]
[together?]
[why? Do you think it will be a hindrance?]
Mok Gyeong-un shrugged her shoulders at her words.
As the best executive of the secret society her power was actually comparable to that of Chilcheon the peak of the current martial arts world and because she was not human in a sense she was able to exert even more power than that.
At that time Jin Ye-rin also came forward and spoke.
[I will help too.]
Mokgan is the one who caused the great disaster destroyed the Musou Castle and even drove his only father to death.
and his organization Secret Love Affair.
She could never forgive them either.
however
[no. You are not together.]
[What?]
[Literally.]
Jin Ye-rin questioned Mok Gyeong-un’s words as if she could not understand them.
[… She says this woman can do it but why can’t I?]
[She never said she could.]
[yes?]
[You are free to follow me but I will be heading to where the main body of the wooden tablet is right now. If you don’t hurry you’ll miss him.]
[If that’s the case ride that big bird that the woodworker flies…]
[Yeosu Heumwon will take them back to Cheonjihoe.]
[….]
At the place Mok Gyeong-un pointed there were subordinates who came here together.
Both Nie Chun and Meng Wuyue were seriously injured and were not in good condition.
Mok Gyeong-un concluded that even if each of the subordinates who followed him had reached the peak of perfection the fight from now on could literally be a decisive battle so it would actually be a hindrance.
Because they knew this they did not say that they would risk their lives to chase after their lord Mok Gyeong-un in order to no longer hold him back.
As she looked at them she bit her lip and opened her mouth.
[I understand what Confucius is talking about. How can you help in a situation where even just one hand is not enough….]
[Let me be clear. Jin Ye-rin’s skills are not helpful.]
[….]
For an instant she was at a loss for words at the words of Mok Gyeong-un who was like a murderer with the utmost precision.
She was the one who reached the state of Hyeongyeong (玄境) beyond the wall of the wall a realm like Chilcheon (七天) which can be said to be the pinnacle of Hyeonmurim.
She said she wasn’t helping herself?
It was an assessment that hurt her pride so much but she couldn’t say anything.
That was because he was no match for even her Mokgan alter ego and the memory of her grabbing an ally’s ankle several times hit the nail on the head.
Because of this she even lost her evil spirit and training skills.
-closely!
Mok Gyeong-un spoke coldly to her as she clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug in and her blood came out.
[I understand the desire to take revenge but you are only a hindrance. If you really want to help go to the Four Leagues in the north and prepare for the crisis that will come from the north of Shanxi Province.]
Datong north of Shanxi Province.
It was a place where there was a clue that one of the six demons might be present.
* * *
-Tatak tatak!
Looking at her campfire and remembering what time it was she bit her lip as if she was still upset.
She wanted to take revenge with her own hands but she had to leave it to someone else.
Does she mean she’s so low on herself?
“ha.”
no. To be precise the enemy was too strong.
Not acknowledging this would only be a consolation to oneself.
All that came out was a sigh.
She took out her secretary in her arms.
heavenly fortune
[Cheondun name search method]
Would things have been different if I had discovered and learned this earlier?
He was the secretary whom our ancestors left by arrangement.
He was probably a secretary with more power than the current name sword technique but there was no way he could learn it in a short period of time.
‘In the end all I can do is prepare together with the Federation of Soldiers.’
She felt a sense of self-destruction at the reality that she could not contribute her strength.
She shouldn’t have been discouraged by this.
Even if Mo Kyung-un really succeeded in killing the main body of Mok-gan the leader of the secret society there was no guarantee that another catastrophe would not occur again and it was difficult to guarantee success.
So it was right for her to prepare at least a little.
She turned the pages of her books to familiarize herself with her secretary.
That said
-Good luck! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
At that moment the flame of the bonfire flared up and soon the flames flew in all directions and then the flames quickly died down.
Her eyes shook at the strange sign that suddenly occurred.
‘what?’
It could be said to be a kind of sixth sense.
In the dying flame she could not help but think of only one person.
‘Woodgongja?’
* * *
It happened so suddenly that there was no time to avoid it.
A beam of light with an enormous amount of light rushed from the ground towards Mok Gyeong-un who was flying at an incredible speed and covered him.
-Paaaaaaa!
Mok Gyeong-un who was unable to properly open his eyes due to the beam of light that was so bright soon tried to secure his vision by opening his power.
-Ssssss!
The moment the power was turned on the glare disappeared and I gradually began to see ahead.
But at that moment Mok Kyung-un sensed a familiar energy in this dazzling beam of light that covered him.
This is
‘That back then?’
A feeling of dullness as if the entire space was in a heavy liquid.
My entire body was moving very slowly as if time itself had stopped.
This must have been the technique used by Mokgan’s alter ego who occupied Na Yulyang’s body at the Cheonjihoe.
Mo Kyung-un’s eyes became sharp.
Could it be that he prepared this in advance in preparation for his coming?
But I heard a voice.
“It arrived sooner than expected. “Avatar.”
Time passed so slowly that Mo Kyung-un could not look away but he was able to guess who the owner of this voice was.
‘Wooden tablet?’
But something is strange.
The tone of voice was clearly similar but it was not the same voice used when following the doctor.
While he was wondering this someone came flying right in front of Mok Gyeong-un with his back on his back.
‘!?’
When he saw that face Mo Kyung-un’s pupils slowly shrunk.
As expected he was an old man whose face was so covered with wrinkles that only the black eyes were visible and the whites were not visible.
Of course even so the atmosphere was not unusual.
The third eye on the forehead which was looking directly at Mo Kyung-un was also smiling with madness and the energy flowing out was amazing.
‘…Immolation.’
Mo Qingyun felt cold inside.
He knew that he was strong but before his eyes this was not his true body.
Was this really the reason for disclosing the location of the main body?
This was a prepared trap.
The old man who was presumed to be Mokgan’s alter ego opened his mouth.
“How about the complete Tai Gong Feng Tian style?”
‘Complete Taegongbong Asthma?’
There was something I could understand from those words.
Does that mean that the technique that imprisoned him in the Heaven and Earth Association at that time was not perfect?
-Sigh!
But the guy was coming closer.
Mok Gyeong-un who believed that it was important to break away from the technique rather than what it was tried to increase Mu-sang’s capabilities.
However it was not easy to gather energy.
He said as Mokgan’s clone sneered as if he had expected this.
“It was prepared specially for you. “It will be completely different than it was then.”
The completed Taegongbongcheon style (太空封舛式).
This was an ancient forbidden art practiced by sacrificing the lives of beings with a thousand negative energies and a thousand positive energies.
Mokgan once used this technique to seal Guhwancheongu the King of the Sea one of the six demons.
Although it was difficult and required a lot of sacrifice and his Yang and Yin energies had to be at their peak he had been waiting for this moment because it was the only technique that could completely trap the Avatar.
“Hehehe. Then why don’t you take mine from you and go?”
Mokgan’s clone slowly extended its hand towards Mokgyeongun.
He seemed to have already sensed that the wooden doll in Mo Kyung-un’s heart had a young soul.
-Sigh!
But it was just that moment.
A fierce glow flickered in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes as he glared at Mok-gan’s clone.
Then
– Thick!
“Oops!”
At that moment Mokgan’s clone grabbed his own heart spouting black blood from his mouth.
He was so shocked that he glared at Mo Qingyun with trembling eyes.
‘…This guy?’
